How to Shave Properly

Now all men hate the way they get skin irritation and all the redness, so in this guide I will show you how to properly shave. The key to shaving is wetshaving. Not many people do it, but it gives you that baby smooth skin every time. There are 5 basic steps to shaving:
1. Clean and heat your skin
2 The Preshave
3.The actual shave
4. Cool down your skin
5. moisturize

Step 1: Clean & heat your skin[img=http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3494/01washface.th.jpg]
Wash your face thoroughly with warm water before shaving. This will prevent infections in case of nicks. You may want to exfoliate using a rough exfoliating cream. This will better prepare your skin and beard for shaving. Soak a facecloth in warm water, and hold it to your beard for 30 seconds. This will help soften and loosen the hair and skin.

Step 3: Shaving[img=http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/4411/05shavedownandusenewr.th.jpg]
Release a ball of shaving cream onto your palm, and apply it evenly over your beard and neck in upward circular motions, making sure to uniformly cover all sections that you wish to shave uniformly. Make sure to use an unused or relatively new razor for the closest and least painful shave. For the top section of your beard, shave from the top of the beard to the edge of your jaw-line in long, even strokes. To shave under your chin and your neck, shave from the bottom of your neck upwards (with the grain) to prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs. You may wish to pull your skin taut with your free hand for a closer shave, but that's up to you. To shave your upper lip, stretch it over your front teeth to tighten the skin, and shave downwards.
Rinse your razor after each stroke to keep it from becoming clogged up with hair.
